Guidance from Radhe Maa
Harjinder Singh on Radhe Maa's Advice
In an exclusive conversation, Harjinder reflected on the advice given by his mother, stating in Hindi, "She always encouraged me to focus on my work. Whatever I choose to do, I should put my heart into it. Acting is a job for me, not merely a passion or a hobby."
Navigating His Identity
When asked about whether he intentionally concealed his identity as Radhe Maa's son at the start of his career, Harjinder replied, "I never mentioned it when meeting new people, but they often discovered it on their own. Her blessings have always been with me. As I progressed in the industry, I encountered many individuals who provided valuable guidance." He also noted that people often questioned his choice to take on smaller roles, suggesting he should pursue something more substantial. "I wanted to break free from those expectations. I preferred not to let anyone intrude on my journey, nor did I want to intrude on others. I believed it would be more rewarding when people recognized my talent and efforts. Devi Maa's blessings were always with me," he added.
Experience with Randeep Hooda
Harjinder on Working with Randeep in Inspector Avinash 2
Continuing the discussion, Harjinder shared his experiences working alongside Randeep in the second season of Inspector Avinash. He recalled expressing to Randeep that he had watched a film solely because of his presence in it. "Our off-screen relationship is quite strong. He is much more experienced than I am. Whenever I had questions, he was always willing to help. If he noticed something off during a scene, he would suggest ways to improve it. I learned a lot just by being around him," he explained. Harjinder concluded by noting that Randeep is deeply immersed in his roles, and aspiring actors can take inspiration from his dedication to their craft.
